2015 Bowl Game?

I'm hoping to attend BYU's bowl game this year, and wanted to get some idea of when and where it would probably be (assuming not qualifying for major bowl/playoff). Searching reveals an agreement with the Poinsettia Bowl for 2015, but that seems to have been over-ridden by an agreement with Army for this year.



I see a rumor about the Hawaii Bowl, but can't find anything at all on that - not even when, let alone who.



Does anyone have anything solid on this?

I've only heard this recently:

BYU’s possible bowl game tie-in for 2015 has not been announced.



“At this point in time, this next year’s game, for reasons of contract and the people that are involved, it’s not being made public at this time,” Holmoe said. “I feel good about where we’re at.”

TH said he could not comment on it yet but something was in the works. It might be the rumored new Los Angeles bowl.

I forgot about that one. It could be a nice bowl game to be a part of if the NCAA approves it for 2015.

I guess I'll keep a lookout. Since my wife is originally from California, she'd be happy with that (Los Angeles). If it does turn out to be Hawaii, it might be a little harder to keep our plans, but we'd probably find a way. Who doesn't want to go to Hawaii? 8)

The basketball team will be in Hawaii at Christmas for a tournament.

Yes, BYU originally agreed with the Poinsettia bowl for 2015. That was later changed to MWC-Army.



BYU then agreed to be in the 2016/2018 games:

The MWC is heavy by 1 bowl game in each of the 2015 and 2019 years, due to deals with the Armed Forces bowl. This has led to rumors that BYU could be playing in the Hawaii bowl in 2015 (vs CUSA/AAC) and the Las Vegas bowl in 2019 (vs PAC-12), both of which will have one opening each over the next 6 years. BYU has also announced that they have 2 bowl game spots locked up that they haven't stated publically yet.

I'm not sure it will matter. I'm not convinced we going bowling in 2015, against this schedule.

If Taysom stays healthy, BYU wins a minimum of 10 games this year...

I actually agree. However, I'm not convinced that Taysom stays healthy.

On the bright side of things we play Utah State last game of the regular season in 2015.

He stays healthy. He's on an every other season schedule.

Behind what is projected to be our offensive line? It is pretty likely he doesn't. I wouldnt wish BYU quarterback on my worst enemy against our schedule next year with the transfers and the inevitable high ankle sprains (from overtraining).

If our OL can make similar progress in 2015 that they made in 2014, that will/would bode very well for BYU's chances to have a very successful season and for Taysom to stay healthy.

If he can make it healthy to the Missouri game I'll get to watch him play live for the first time. Because it's all about me... :D

Good one 4ever. I saw him at the UVA, his first start and at BSU the year before that. He should had played the whole game. We might had won that one. Debating which game to go to next year.
